Jamie Oliver, the most successful chef of his generation, trained at Westminster Catering College. His restaurant in Shoreditch, Fifteen, was set up to help young people from east London to get a taste of career success. His TV programme, Jamie’s School Dinners, was so successful we all started taking healthy eating more seriously.
